Exercise is Medicine for Patients With CKD
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03311763
Purpose
The investigators plan to integrate and tailor the existing Exercise is Medicine framework,
an evidence-based multi-level intervention program developed by the American Society of
Sports Medicine, for the care of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. In this pilot
randomized control trial, investigators will compare the effects and feasibility of two
intervention arms designed to start and maintain physical activity in this high-risk
population (Group 1: physical activity assessment, brief counseling session + physical
activity wearable versus Group 2: Group 1 intervention components + referral to a free,
community-based, EIM practitioner led group exercise program).
